The SnapCast Podcast

Farewell: 4WW Exile All PodcastersIt's been an honor and it's been fun to cast with the likes of Zach Moeller, Andy Michaud, and Michael Cooley these past two and a half years. MTG has changed a bunch and so have we and it seems like the time is right to move on and enjoy the best parts of living in Maine this summer. We appreciate everyone who has listened and followed along as we rambled about anything and everything MTG that has caught our interest along the way. So, let's do it one more time on the way out the door! 

Bannings in Explorer, previews for Double Masters 2, Commander Legends 2, and more!

Brad and Zach get together to talk about recent event results and look for which new cards are showing up in established decks!

Zach and Brad are excited to welcome special guest Leif Erickson back to the cast. Leif just went through a challenging time trying to make the most from selling a large Magic collection. We will talk about each of the avenues he took and the challenges and successes from each including the fast growing collection buying powerhouse, Card Conduit.

Zach and Brad discuss the potential impacts of New Capenna cards in Modern, EDH, and Pioneer. Brad shares a quick financial bellwether tip that can help with quickly considering cards for speculation.  Then reviewing results of this past weekend's  Modern and Pioneer Challenges.

Were we hijacked? Kind of. This week's special 100th episode let us catch up with Andy and Mike and talk about what's been going on in our lives and in Magic since we last got together. We cover some Judge related topics, some Streets of New Capenna previews, and a whole lot of really fun bullsh^t.

Apologies! After recording a great cast, Zach left and I (Brad) realized I made a mistake with the audio while trying to improve something else. This is the first time in months I didn't run a backup. Argh!  Rather than ask anyone to contend with that terrible out-of-sync audio you get this apology instead. See you next week!

Not to bury the lead but Zach got two 5-0s since our last cast! We also talk about new cards coming in Streets of New Capenna, the other interesting 5-0 deck lists, as well as some cards at all time high and low prices. 

After sifting through the Otherworldly Circus of Modern's recent results Zach and Brad try to Touch the Spirit Realm and talk about Brad's new passion, the Yorion Griefblade Modern Brew.We talk about how it came to be, how it's been working in testing, and share thoughts on side boarding and changes going forward. 

First results of the post-ban format prove that losing the cat won't stop the Grixis or Hammer monsters but we did see a lot of diverse top 8's and great results including from the Hunter Burton Memorial paper MTG event. 

Joined by Jacob Dawson, Zach and Brad are excited to discuss the recent tournament results from a NH $1k Modern event and the recent, and sudden, banning of Lurrus of the Dream Den!

Really interesting Challenge results this weekend showcasing some of Kamigawa's newest offerings to Modern, Pioneer, and Standard.Snap these up: Den of the Bugbear, March of Otherworldly Light, Foil Smugglers Copter, Alpine Moon, Primeval Titan, Zen Rising Expos!

We were luck enough to talk with Jayson Chandler shortly after his recent success at a New Hampshire 1k Modern event. Piloting BW Hammertime to a top4 draw, Jayson shares his matchup thoughts, side boarding thoughts, and some commentary on the format at large.

In an effort to pay more attention to tournament gameplay, Zach and Brad review the Modo Challenge results from Saturday and Sunday February 5 and 6 as well as the Mana Traders Pioneer results. Finally we talk about the Kamigawa ND Commander decks and a few more previews.

What's up folks? Apparently Fish people aren't just called Merfolk and recently got some top streamer love! Unrelated to seafood, one of our favorite artists gets into hot water. And Kamigawa is proving to be one of the most exciting Magic sets in recent memory, let's hit it!

Today we check in on the local 1k from this weekend, the 1/25 Banned and Restricted announcement, the recent Star City Games announcement, the fears of Magic's future. And a few cards we're excited about!Weekend Anime GoFundMe! - https://gofund.me/686536ea

New cards are sweet, Andy and Brad go over some new previews and share cards to Snap Up and Snap Sell!

High dollar EDH staple cards; are they worth the opportunity cost, the deck building, and social costs? Let's be honest, no one really likes it when you cast the "typical" game winners like Craterhoof Behemoth, Expropriate, overloaded Cyclonic Rift, etc..Secret Lairs for Extra Life and the October Super-Drop!

It's one thing to feel like you know something is true, it's another to do a little research. Thinking about the best secondary-market options to spec on for 2022, lets look back at (arguably) the best reprint set of 2021, Double Masters!
